Cooking Basics

Celery - removing the strings

Strings in celery stalks are tough. Use a knife to pull the strings off starting from the lower half of the stalk. When slicing up thinly or diagonally, you do not need to remove these in advance as you will be cutting through the strings anyway.

Bell peppers - removing seeds

Cut the bell pepper in half, fold the stem and then remove the seeds with your fingers. This is an easier and less wasteful method than using a knife.
